    Ask your neighbors if they have similar problems. If yes, see post 2.

    Harrowing experience witnessing tiles of living room floor popping up!




    Seng Kang. 8 year Old flat. I believe its the sun light and inappropriate adhesive used that catalysts this reaction over the years. 2 others units on the same floor as mine had their tiles popped much earlier before they shifted in. Their flat was left vacant longer than mine and thus didn't install windows curtains to sort of shield the tiles from direct sunlight.
    put a scary movie on and enjoy the extra free special effects

    Nope doesn't. Could have been a tremor. If so likely others in your condo have same prob.

    Post a pic and folks here may see other reasons for tile popping up. Moisture, minor movement of structure or tiles improperly laid more likely the problem.

    Mind you, bearing in mind you need a quick sale, probably best to just sell it to a Russian couple.

    The piling was inadequate, failure of load bearing walls, subsidence, or as someone has mentioned it could be water damage. Get an engineer to take look. Do your doors still fit?

    Contraction of the inter-dimensional vortex. If you are at home when it finalizes, you will be spat out in the middle of a Teakdoor thread, being pursued by the verb "valve" running after you on long spindly legs.

    I tried to valve the doors , but they were unresponsive , so I went to manufacturer and asked advice and they asked whether I had verb valves or noun valves , but I wasnt sure whether they were liquid or gas , so I just masturbated into the doors and Im hopeful that that will sort the problem out
